"This book matters! Sallie McFague has created something important and necessary—a model of God specifically for the sake of the earth. If traditional concepts of god have alienated us from the bodies of the material world, then what alternative do we have? Is there any sense of transcendence, of spirit, of Christ, of trinity that will help rather than harm the earth today? McFague takes up these great and heavy questions with firmness and authority, with modesty and ambiguity, with wisdom and patience. No one else has yet unfolded with comparable constructive clarity the relation between the earth crisis and our notion of God."

"A breakthrough. A wonderful work, one that is likely to have an impact comparable to Models of God. I thoroughly enjoyed this work and found it to be immensely helpful."
— Peter C. Hodgson, Vanderbilt Divinity School
"A very distinctive and important new option
for Christian theology. McFague proposes in
a clear and challenging way a theological
program based on what she calls 'the organic
model' for conceiving God. Her model is in
keeping with contemporary scientific
understandings of the widely accepted common
creation story and provides a good basis for
reconceiving the Christian understanding of
human existence in an ecologically ordered
natural world. Very illuminating, with some
brilliant insights."
— Gordon D. Kaufman, Harvard Divinity School
